Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a multi-pole coupling half of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which could be equipped as a plug with male contact members or as a socket with female contact members.
  • the housing equipped with parallel bores for receiving and holding the contact members is provided with a slot, in which a perforated plate can be inserted in a push-like manner.
  • the perforated plate has a hole pattern adapted to the bore profile and, in the case of insertion, engages in recesses in the contact members, which are positioned in the housing only in this way.
  • the insertion position of the plate is only determined by an end stop of the perforated plate in the housing.
  • the housing equipped with the contact members and the perforated plate is placed inside a shell which receives the electrical lines, completes the coupling half and prevents the perforated plate from being pulled out. This construction effort is too great in some applications.
  • the perforated plate in its insertion position is actually retracted with its perforated edges in all recesses of the contact members and therefore really secures the contact members.
  • the contact members of the associated counter-coupling half can in any case also be connected to this coupling half if their contact members are not adequately secured. This can lead to assembly errors unless special attention is paid to the engagement relationship between the perforated plate and the contact members or time-consuming controls are introduced during the manufacturing process.
  • the two-sided contact members can shift when coupling, which results in the risk of inadequate contact.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a simple coupling half of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which shows with certainty the correct placement of all its components when assembling its components and even when using the coupling halves as intended.
  • This is achieved according to the invention by the measures specified in the characterizing part of claim 1, which have the following special meaning:
  • the slide itself is the relevant receiving part for positioning and holding the associated contact members and this receiving part is at the same time a means of transport in the invention for transferring the contact members from an extended position of the slide into the final inserted position, which characterizes the state of use of the coupling half.
  • the slide can therefore be moved together with the contact members received by it with respect to the housing enclosed by it.
  • the invention gives the certainty of their correct placement, both with regard to their axial and radial position inside the housing.
  • the slide cannot be moved into its insertion position transverse to the bores.
  • the complementary counter-contact members of the associated counter-contact half cannot be inserted in the invention as long as the slide has not reached its final insertion position. Only then are the input sections of the bores in the housing axially aligned with the contact members located in the slide, while before, in the extension position, there is a lateral offset. In this offset position, the input sections of the housing bores are blocked by wall surfaces of the slide.
  • the wall parts of the slide take over, according to claim 2, the control function, because the counter-coupling halves to be introduced through the bore input sections hit the slide as long as it is not in the final insertion position.
  • the profiling of the channels according to claim 3 promotes this, the funnel-shaped extensions facilitating the engagement of the contact members when coupling.
  • Snap locks according to claim 5 facilitate the handling of the coupling half during its assembly.
  • the design of the snap locks is particularly simple and space-saving.
  • the slide can be made separately be and therefore, be completely pulled out of the housing according to claim 7. In some applications, however, it is cheaper and the assembly is more sensible if, according to claim 8, the housing parts and their slider can be folded together by means of joint parts. Despite the articulation parts, the slidability of the slide should be made possible in its final phase. Then all components of the housing can be manufactured in one piece, which simplifies their manufacture and assembly.
  • the articulated parts in the sense of claim 11 are particularly inexpensive to form as film hinges, with deformable webs guaranteeing the aforementioned movement of the slide according to claim 12.
  • Side walls on the housing rest can simplify the assembly of such a folding housing in the sense of claim 13. Snap locks according to claim 14 secure the collapsed position of the various housing parts.
  • the simplest embodiment of the coupling half 10 according to the invention comprises, as can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, a two-part housing 11, 12 with a family of through bores 13 arranged parallel to one another, in which contact members 20 are to be stored piecewise.
  • the contact member 20 is divided into three parts. It comprises an initial part 21 with the actual contact elements 22, which here consist of contact springs forming a matrix-shaped element, a central part 23 with various holding elements 24, 25 and an end part 26 with connecting elements 27, 28 for the stripped end of an electrical line 29.
  • the contact member is designed as a stamped-shaped piece of a sheet metal body, in the initial part of which the contact springs 22 are divided into two spring parts by a longitudinal gap 31.
  • the holding elements of the middle part 23 consist of cut and angled locking tongues 24, which with their free ends face a shoulder 25 projecting in two mutually vertical planes, which limits the transition of this middle part 23 to the end part 26.
  • connection elements at the end part 26 consist of bendable pairs of tabs 27, 28 which on the one hand, at 27, clamp the stripped conductor core and, on the other hand, at 28, as strain reliefs, hold the insulated line 29.
  • the contact member 20 is provided with a butt edge 30 lying in the plane of FIG. 3b.
  • the main housing 11 hollowed out with a recess 14, which is used for sliding guidance of a slide 12 forming the second housing part.
  • This recess 14 is closed at its inner end by an end wall 15 as shown in FIG. 4 and cuts the bores 13 vertically to its bore axis 16 indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 4, whereby the bores in the main housing 11 are divided into two sections 17, 18, of which the input section 17 is arranged in a cover plate 32 of the main housing 11 and the output section 18 is arranged in a base plate 33 and are profiled differently from one another both in the bore cross section and in the longitudinal direction of the bore.
  • the two plates 32, 33 are connected by side walls 34 and enclose the recess 14 with a rectangular opening cross section.
  • the main housing 11 and the slide 12 are produced from insulating plastic separately from one another by injection molding.
  • the side walls 34 have molded-on profile parts 35, 36 on their outside, which serve for an arrangement of the complete housing 11, 12, not shown, in a housing assembly.
  • the slide 12 in turn comprises a set of through-holes 19 which match in an arrangement pattern of the bores 13 and which serve for the decisive positioning of the contact members 20 to be introduced according to FIGS. 3a, 3b.
  • the slide 12 is pushed into the recess 14 of the main housing 11 in the sense of the insertion arrow 37 of FIG. 1 until the position of these housing parts 11, 12 which can be seen in FIG. 4 and which is referred to below as the "extended position" of the slide 12 is reached should.
  • This extension position is determined by a latching position between the slide 12 and the main housing 11.
  • One half of the locking position consists of a pair of cams 38, 38 ', of which in this case the first 38 engages in an opening 39 of the housing cover plate 32, while the adjacent edge web 40 comes to rest in front of the following cam 38'.
  • the cams 38, 38 'and the edge web 40 have in the direction of the insertion arrow 37 pointing bevels, which lead to a deformation of the closing halves 38, 38', 39 when driving over the edge web 40 until it enters behind the steep surface of the cam 38.
  • an electrical component 50 is illustrated, which is integrated with the associated counter-coupling half 10 '.
  • This includes complementary counter-contact members 20 ', which are designed here as a male-like, plate-shaped pins which are to be brought into engagement with the aforementioned male-shaped contact springs 22 of the coupling half 10 described so far.
  • the counter-contact members 20 ' must be passed through the input sections 17 mentioned in the housing cover plate 32.
  • this input section 17 is formed as a channel 47 corresponding to the cross section of the counter-contact members 20 ', which is preceded by a funnel 48 equipped with insertion bevels.
  • the slide 12 Starting from the extended position of FIG. 4, the slide 12 only needs to be pushed in further in the sense of the push arrow 52 indicated there, whereby it is transferred to the position according to FIG. 5 to be referred to as the "inserted position".
  • the slide is moved by the clear width 53 of a gap enclosed between the inner slide end wall 54 and the housing end wall 15 mentioned at the beginning.
  • the end wall 15 serves as a stop for the slide end wall 54.
  • This gap width 53 is the same as the above-mentioned offset distance 51 between the bore axis 16 and the center line 41 of the receiving bores 19, which is why in the insertion position of FIG. 5, the bore input sections 17th are each exactly aligned with the slide-side mounting holes 19.
  • the output sections 18 of the bores are in the area of Housing base plate 33 has a particularly long profile.
  • the output sections 18 include lateral widenings 58, which in the lower piece produce a much larger clear width in the bores 18 compared to the passage opening 42 mentioned. These widenings 58 are useful for having the end parts 26 of the contact member 20 retract there during the contact member transport mentioned. These widenings 58 are covered toward the housing recess 14 shown in FIG.
  • heel surfaces 55 which lie in the already mentioned inner plate plane 43 of the housing base plate 33 and limit the passage opening 42 mentioned there.
  • the heel surfaces 55 are reinforced toward the widenings of the bore output section 18 by inclination surfaces 56, which at the same time facilitate the insertion movement 44 of the contact members 20.
  • the insertion position of the slide 12 in Fig. 5 is secured by the already mentioned second cam 38 'of the latching position. This passes under the edge web 40 mentioned at the opening 39 with elastic deformation of its plastic and engages behind the edge web on the inside of the opening 39. This prevents the slide 12 from being pulled out unintentionally. Its aligned position of its receiving bores 19 with the bore axis 16 is ensured and the contact members 20 located therein are locked in their proper insertion position by the shoulder surfaces 55 of the housing base plate 33.
  • the components of the coupling half 10 according to the invention are permanently fixed to one another.
  • the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 differs from the previous one in that all components of the housing are connected and in particular are formed in one piece with one another.
  • the same reference numerals are used to designate corresponding components as in the first exemplary embodiment, which is why their text applies.
  • the casing 57 includes the previously described base plate 33 with the bore outlet portions 18 penetrating them, the end wall 15 and the two side walls 34.
  • the housing insert 12 'to be accommodated therein has the components of the slide 12 described above, namely the longitudinally profiled receiving bores described 19.
  • the housing cover plate 32 has the above-described bore input sections 17. All housing parts, together with their joint parts 60, 61, are made in one piece from plastic.
  • the hinge parts are designed as film hinges 60, 61.
  • the housing insert 12 'belonging to the film hinge 60 sits on the lower edge of the bottom plate 33 of the casing 57 and is connected to the housing insert 12' via an elongated web 59. All components 32, 57, 12 'of the housing are thus made captive and only require a common operation for their manufacture, which justifies inexpensive manufacture.
  • the housing is handled in the following way: First, the housing insert 12 'is pivoted in the direction of the folding movement arrow 62 into the interior 59 of the envelope housing 57, whereby its side 65 pointing upwards in FIG. 6 comes into contact with the inner plate plane 43 of the base plate 33.
  • the cover plate 32 is then folded in according to the swivel arrow 63, and it lowers into the interior 59 of the casing 57.
  • the top plate 32 does not protrude with its upper side 66 the upper edges 67 of the casing housing 57 determined by the side walls 34 and the end wall 15.
  • This collapsed position of the housing parts 12 ', 32 is secured by snap connections 70, 71.
  • the side edges of the cover plate 32 are provided in the area of the free plate edge with projecting, L-shaped lugs 72 which, when folded 63, finally strike a lowered step surface 73 of the housing side walls 34.
  • the side edges of the cover plate 32 have projections 70 which snap behind counter-projections 71.
  • the individual contact members 20 are inserted in the direction of the insertion arrows 44 through the mutually aligned bores until, analogously to FIG. 5, they have reached the final insertion depth described there and apparent from FIG. 9 .
  • the above-described thrust movement 52 is carried out on the housing insert 12 ', which results in the overall conditions shown in FIG. 9, which in principle correspond to those already described in FIG. 5. In this respect, the previous description applies. It is sufficient to emphasize only the differences, which consist in the following: In this insertion movement 52, the housing insert 12 'acts like a slide.
